This paper introduces a new framework for two-phase image segmentation, namely the Fuzzy Region Competition. A generic formulation is developed that extends in a convex way several...
This paper is devoted to the optimization problem of continuous multipartitioning, or multi-labeling, which is based on a convex relaxation of the continuous Potts model. In contr...
This work shows asymptotic convergence to global optima for a family of dynamically scaled genetic programming systems where the underlying population consists of a fixed number o...
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

— This paper presents an interior point approach to exact distance computation between convex objects represented as intersections of implicit surfaces. Exact distance computatio...
